Alexander Zverev believes that he will be ready to get to the top once Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger” federer> have finished competing. The Hamburg native said: “I think I belong to this group of players that can take this status.

We can also put Stefanos Tsitsipas, Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime in the mix. I think we are all mature to win a Grand Slam. It will be up to the younger players to take their place and not leave it. It will be up to players to go to the top.”

On Nick Kyrgios, Zverev concluded: “He is an unpredictable player. I think he is one of the most talented players on Tour. It’s difficult to face him if he is at his best.” Nadal believes that Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer’s withdrawals in Montreal will not influence his run.

The Spanish player said: “Tennis is more than just three players. There are many very good players. And even if Djokovic and Federer played this tournament, I would face them only in the semifinals and final. I have to win several matches before thinking about it.”
